Wednesday Night Workout in Bloomington
The plan for tonight here in the former home of Bobby Knight was to push myself: two-hour workout at the gym, get something to eat, rest a little and let my stomach settle and then rattle off a late night two-hour run. 4 hours in total!
I'm going to have to do a 5-hour marathon here shortly ... so why not a similar workout. Well, I got the two-hour workout done and I ate, but the rain has gotten in the way of the late night run. (If I get up in the morning and it has stopped raining ..... lol .... if I report to you that I have, it will even surprise me!)
An hour on the elliptical machine (level 15, random, no hands on the sticks at all, 5.24 miles) and then an hour on the stationery bike (different model than the ones at Bally's in The Woodlands.)
Good workout. Not sure my clothes are going to be dry before I have to pack up in the morning. A good thing, but a bad thing too.
A couple of non-running related notes: Astros win tonight and maintain a two and a half (2.5) game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies ..... Bought Gretchen Wilson's new CD, "All Jacked Up," at Wal-Mart tonight. Good stuff! She gets the legendary Merle Haggard involved on a song called, "Politically Uncorrect" ..... Waverly started back to school today. First 6-weeks report card comes out by the end of the week. There was supposed to be a mandatory parent-teacher conference today, but with the kids missing four (4) days of school, some things get scratched. Yay! No worries in our house though. She's an excellent student and in 4 years plus kindergarten, she has made but 3 B's (all last year). Dad just asks her to do her best - and she does! ..... Get a Chronicle tomorrow and check Roberta MacInnis' running column - although I know you always do.

Lance,
I agree with you; however, just with the temps and all, (still a tad bit humid until early this morning) I wasn't planning on running until late in the evening.
I didn't feel like sitting around and waiting until then; therefore, I went to the gym.
I'll probably run some tonight (not as many miles as I had planned for Wednesday night), but just to stay loose for this weekend.
Please don't hesitate to chime in. I don't think I'll ever get to the point that I have too much information available that I'll be paralyzed from making a decision.
I'm just trying to keep as physically fit as I can be as well as increasing all of my endurances.
Gretchen Wilson huh. Do you like Lucinda Williams?
